Default What to upgrade to?!

Im 15, 5'5 and 140lbs. Right now I ride a KTM 105sx and I am thinking about upgrading to not only a 250 but a FOUR STROKE 250, like the yz 250f. I want 4 stroke because I mainly ride dunes and 4 strokes are better for hills. (DONT ARGUE WITH ME!!!) So do you think this bike will work for me or should I get a different one?

THANKS!!!

common misconception: that ATV's are ONLY quads. well hate to break it to ya but "all terrain vehicle" DOESNT exclude dirtbikes, trust me, dirtbikes can do some wicked terrain. Thanks for the reply!

kx250 2-stroke would be my choice. I had one when i was 16 and boy.. I was scared of it. It climbed like a beast. It only had a pipe and reeds and it wanted to lift up in 5th gear if i leaned back a little bit. I was actually still kind of scared of it when i sold it 2 and a half years ago before i got my Banshee. =)

yz 250f. Good bike but my first bike was an rm125 2-stroke when i was 13. I stayed right by a ttr 230 4-stroke.

250 4-stroke would be more then good for you. judging by ur height and weight though, People are gonna be thinking your borrowing your dads bike. So perhaps you'll be growing into it in a couple years.

Good luck~

thanks for the reply!
but i prolly should have put in 1 more piece of info: my dad is 6' 6" and i am on the edge of a growth spurt so it wont be much to "grow into" within like 6 months it'll be a perfect bike...

Your feet don't need to touch the ground when you're riding an ATV...that's the big difference between bikes and quads
